'THE FAIR.
A r.RKAT OPKNIXG OF A CRF.AT
l-!iii;lTlo..
Raleigh Merchants Make Good
Displays Four Thousand
People Present. 1
Yesterday's shower came in good
time and laid the dust and gave fair
weather for the opening day of the
fair. For once there ran be no com
plaint about the weather. Let the peo
ple give thanks.
The opening was one of the best in
the history of the exhibition ; the
crowd was large and the exhibits in
better shape. All the elliil its are ly
no means ready as yet but tomorrow
will see the " great fair," which is the
only appropriate name for the exhi
bition, fairly launched. The pro
gramme today was carried out on time
iu all its particulars, except the bal
loon ascension. The populate, how
ever, has learned by experience that
this feature is never on time so no one
was disappointed.
At 11 oMock Col. Julian S. Carr,
the president of the agricultural soci
ety introduced Gov. Klias Carr who
formally opened thefairin a strong and
vigorous speech. He was followed by
Prof. KJwin A. Alderman of (lie univer
sity, who introduced D '. J.L.M. Ci i-ri-.
He respond, d in an exce 'eni address
o tl.e e 'iii'iitors of the state." A
splcii'l il l iasn band furnished good
music fur i iii' occasion.
One of the pretty features of the
opening was the "Old North State,"
sung by 400 school children from the
Mnrphey and Centennial graded
schools. The marshals arrived at
the grounds about 11:30 o'cloek and
presented a line appearance. It is
the generally expressed opinion that
the rosettes v, it h which the marshals
are ladged this year are great im
provements on the old style regalias.
The exhibits are nearly all ready
and are the finest ever seen in the
state, the exposition not excepted. It
is a pleasure to see the liberal man
ner in which Raleigh merchants and
and industries are helping on the fair
and themselves by putting in tasteful
and costly exhibits. Numbers of them
have exceedingly creditable exhibits,
but, the local spaces of Messrs. W. H. &
R. S. Tucker & Co.,V. H. King & Co.,
and Julius Lewis & Co. deserve special
mention. Messrs. W. H. & R. S.
Tucker & Co. have one of the finest
exhibits ever seen at an exhibition
here. It is situated in the extensi in
of the main building just beyond the
rotunda of the old floral hall. It con
sists of a-handsome booth about thirty
feet in length and filled with as beau
tiful and tastily arranged display as
it is possible to conceive. Just xippo
posite to this space the firm has
erected, in the aisle, a handsome and
costly pagoda like structure about
fourteen feet in height. The sides are
of the finest plate glass and within is
a display of ladies gowns robed oil
figures. One of the features is an ex
ellent wax figure of a young lady
dressed in a dainty evening costume.
This is an "eye-catcher" and an ad
miring crowd (an aLvays be seen
hanging around the exhibit and
gazing open-mouthed at the wax
beauty.
Julias Lewis & Co's. exhibit is situ
ated just opposite Tucker's and also
attracts '.; universal attention. It is
filled with an excellent and well
arranged Exhibit of hardware. -
Messrs. W. H. King & Co..have one
of the neatest and best arranged spaces
in the building. It is simply a com
plete drugstore filled with the finest
attributes of such an establishment.
The cases and toilet articles are es
pecially handsome. . ,
The Raleigh cotton mills and the
Caraleigh phosphate works have both
put in excellent exhibits.
The midway was in fall blast today and
the exhortations and thundering ad
dresses of the proprietors of the side
sho A'S gave the sight-seer a bewildering
and pleasureable sense of excitement.
Although there are some "fakes",
among the shows, they are, as a class,
better and more honestly conducted
than ever before. Among tho-e that
are worth the price of admission and
are really interesttng and instructive
Wombwell's menagerie of trained wild
inimals and the clyclorama of Gettys
burg staud head and shoulders over
the other "midway" attractions. A
curious thing is that the ever-present,
up to this time, merry-go-round or
""spinning jennie" is not among the
"midway " attractions.
Racing commenced at 1 o'clock to
day and promised to be of a high
order. Three races were on the card,
two 3 minutej3lass trotting races and
a. running heat race for two year oldsi
The balloon finally got off and sailedj
away followed by the admiring eyes
of the multitude.
' The fair is undoubtedly the great
est ever held by the agricultural so
ciety and the thanks of the state are
doe to it energetic president and sec
retary. .

THEATRICAL NOTESo
Last Evening's Events at the
Theatres. The Bills for this
Evening.
At Metropolitan hall this evening
Fred. Marsh's select company will
play "Muggs' Landing."
At the Academy of music James
Young's fine company will present the
"Lady of Lyons."
At the Metropolitan hall last even
ing Mr. Marsh's company made its
first appearance here in "Passion's
Slave." The audience, though small,
appeared to be well pleased and en
cored the songs heartily.
Mr. Young's performance of Riche
lieu last evening at the academy was
worthy, of his reputation. He has im
proved remarkably since his last ap
pearance in this city. His support
is excellent. He shows the effect of
study and can fill application to his
profession. He is a conscienteous ac
tor and throws himself thoroughly in
to the character he assumes. He was
given a hearty Veception and freely
deserves it.
The Football Championship.
The University and Trinity college
football teams will meet on the "grid
iron" field tomorrow afternoon at
Chapel Hill. The game will probably
be the most interesting and exciting
struggle of the kind ever seen in the
state. . Trinity has by far the heavier
team and her men are nearly all vet
eran players. The University team,
however, is especially well trained and
it is this on which the backers of the
"white and blue" base'their hopes of
the University winning. The odds
are on Trinity but as an athletic "tar
heeler" says "the University will
play a cracking, good, bard, snappy
game." ' . j : v..
